As the investigation established, the perpetrator of the Russian Federation's order was a 31-year-old resident of Odesa region, recruited through Telegram channels in search of "easy money".
At first, he was given a so-called "test" task - to set fire to a military vehicle. After completing it, the agent received instructions on how to organize the assassination.
In particular, he was supposed to pick up an improvised explosive device (IED) from a pre-prepared cache and place it at the location of the military.
SBU officers exposed the enemy's intentions in advance and documented the criminal actions of the perpetrator in stages.
According to the investigation, the agent's task was to plant an explosive device with shrapnel in a playground in a residential area of Odesa. Then the Russian special services planned to remotely activate the IED using a mobile phone equipped with explosives
